Known Issues

The network and time libraries shipped with GHC 6.10.4 were replaced with
versions specified in the 'haskell-platform.cabal' file (2.2.1.1 and
1.1.2.4 instead of 2.2.1 and 1.1.3, respectively).

The upgrading issue wasn't given much thought, so you're advised to
delete the previous Haskell Platform installation before using this
installer. OTOH, our behaviour is no worse than that of the existing GHC
installer.

The installer may work with restricted user accounts, but it has not been
tested and is not officially supported. The "just unpack" option should
work, however, since it doesn't do anything fancy.

glut32.dll is not included, though it probably should be.

Impact

For the 2009.2.0 release, we had 1500 (exactly) downloads of the windows installer, from May 5 - May 9.

For Developers

In the future, we will likely make use of Sigbjorn Finne's BAMSE work.

BAMSE is a MSI package creator. It has the ability to specify if you
want to provide support for installing your Cabal package after
having unpacked it, i.e., it is assumed that you are shipping a
pre-built version of the package with the MSI.
